This weekend, a friend invited me to her performance “Let Beauty Awake” at the National Opera Center. I attended with my family (yes, my kindergartener too). Afterwards, we took advantage of the spring weather and explored the area. We walked Highline Park and caught a glimpse of the new Whitney Museum building scheduled to open in May–stay tuned for my post on the “New Whitney” next week.

This weekend I decided to refocus energy on myself and well being. After a long winter and many nights of comfort food, it’s time for a little spring cleaning. So, I’ve opted to try the green smoothie cleanse. Ten days–just me, this book and a Nutribullet. Wish me luck!

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon for Hope On Wheels (philanthropy initiative of Hyundai). “The Moms” co-hosted this beautiful event at the Warwick hotel. The moderator, Rocsi Diaz interviewed those on the panel, including doctors from world renowned children’s hospitals. During the event, mothers of young cancer survivors shared their stories. This moving afternoon only emphasized the need for funding of pediatric cancer research.

Today, my family attended Easter service at Riverside Church. Following service, we met friends for lunch at Porter House, a steakhouse in the Time Warner Center. Instead of Easter baskets, I assembled gift bags for the kids. It was a great way to spend our Sunday.
